The OUN and Its Significance for the All-Ukrainian Party Svoboda

The OUN and Its Significance for the All-Ukrainian Party Svoboda

The Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) plays a crucial part in historical and political discourse for the construction of a Ukrainian national identity and contributes to the myth of the ‘two Ukraines’: a Pro-European Western Ukraine that glorifies the OUN as heroes of independence on one hand, and pro-Russian Eastern Ukraine defaming them as ‘Nazi-collaborators’ and ‘russophobic’ agents on the other.

Weltkriege in der Region. Militärdienst und Kriegserfahrungen als Lebenserfahrung

Weltkriege in der Region. Militärdienst und Kriegserfahrungen als Lebenserfahrung

Der Zeitraum zwischen 1914 und 1945 wird eingerahmt durch die beiden größten militärischen Konflikte, die die moderne Welt gesehen hat. Auch in Eupen-Malmedy zogen Tausende junge Menschen in den Ersten oder Zweiten Weltkrieg, fielen oder kehrten verwundet an Körper und Seele heim. Doch nicht nur die Kriege und die Opfer, sondern auch die Erinnerung an den Krieg und der Militärdienst in der vermeintlich friedlichen Zwischenkriegszeit waren wichtige politische und soziale Einflussgrößen für die ostbelgische Gesellschaft.

Židovský skauting během 2. světové války a v poválečném období v Československu a Francii

Židovský skauting během 2. světové války a v poválečném období v Československu a Francii

Jewish scouting is a phenomenon that has not been properly investigated, even though Czechoslovak and French Jewish scouts used to work on hundred places in Czechoslovakia and France. Despite this fact, we know very little about their membership, structure and roles. Besides the usual scout program, Jewish organizations in Czechoslovakia had something unique — Zionist education as a prerequisite for resettling their members in Palestine.

Johnny and Ivan learning in a programmed way: The reinvention of one American technology

Johnny and Ivan learning in a programmed way: The reinvention of one American technology

In the heated times of the Cold War, two hypothetical schoolboys – Johnny in the United States and Ivan in the Soviet Union (USSR) – were both promised a school where they would learn in a new way. This new way – the technology of programmed instruction – was developed by the American behavioral psychologist Burrhus F. Skinner. It became popular globally over the 1960s and was promoted passionately in the United States and the USSR alike.

(De)Habituation Histories: How to Re-Sensitize Media Historians

(De)Habituation Histories: How to Re-Sensitize Media Historians

In line with our earlier work, we will take the material object – the technological device – and, more specifically, the sensorial and experiential dimensions expressed in media use as a point of departure for our reflections. Why would the sensorial and experiential dimensions of media use be a relevant point of departure for such reflections? And, by extension: why would such reflections help to theoretically frame media newness?

Du local à l'international. Jalons pour une sociographie des dirigeants sportifs: Polignac, Kriegk, Daugé: trois trajectoires rémoises (années 1900-1960)

Du local à l'international. Jalons pour une sociographie des dirigeants sportifs: Polignac, Kriegk, Daugé: trois trajectoires rémoises (années 1900-1960)

This contribution aims to shed light on how serving on the boards of local sporting associations enables some leaders to access the elite of international sport. The case of three international leaders (Louis Daugé, Teddy Kriegk, and Melchior de Polignac) is observed through a sociography of the presidents of sports clubs in the city of Reims, the regional sports capital of Champagne-Ardenne, where they were prominent figures and local elites.

Arpanet (1969-2019)

Arpanet (1969-2019)

ARPANET’s story is part of the Internet’s official heritage, as a first crucial step in its development. Janet Abbate’s seminal work Inventing the Internet (1999) has extensively covered its history and is still a landmark in this area. However, the 50th anniversary of ARPANET provides an opportunity to reflect on existing histories and to open up the debate to new perspectives and approaches. If we consider ARPANET as a first step towards the Internet, how did it determine – and how does it continue to determine – our current understanding of the Internet?

Форум: В поисках детской субъектности

the discussion is dedicated to the question whether it is possible to overcome the power asymmetry between researchers and their subjects in the study of childhood, or at the very least to reduce the gulf between researchers and the objects of their studies. the “new sociology of childhood” places the individual personality of the child and their personal interests at the centre of scholarly investigation, though its central presuppositions remain largely controversial.

David Seymour’s Album on the Fight Against Illiteracy in Calabria as a Tool of Mediatization: Material Traces of Editing and Visual Storytelling

David Seymour’s Album on the Fight Against Illiteracy in Calabria as a Tool of Mediatization: Material Traces of Editing and Visual Storytelling

The analysis of UNESCO’s audio-visual archives for their digitization has brought to light a forgotten album of 38 contact sheets and accompanying texts by Magnum photographer, David “Chim” Seymour – a reportage made in 1950 for UNESCO on the fight against illiteracy in Italy’s southern region of Calabria. A number of his photographs appeared in the March 1952 issue of UNESCO Courier in an article written by Carlo Levi, who had gained worldwide fame with his novel Christ Stopped at Eboli (1945).

Mining ethnicity: Discourse-driven topic modelling of immigrant discourses in the USA, 1898-1920

This article aims to offer a methodological contribution to digital humanities by exploring the value of a mixed-method approach to uncover and understand historical patterns in large quantities of textual data. It refines the distant reading technique of topic modelling (TM) by using the discourse-historical approach (DHA——Wodak, 2001) in order to analyse the mechanisms underlying discursive practices in historical newspapers.

Eupen-Malmedy im europäischen Vergleich. Minderheiten als Problem der europäischen Politik in der Zwischenkriegszeit

Eupen-Malmedy im europäischen Vergleich. Minderheiten als Problem der europäischen Politik in der Zwischenkriegszeit

Im 19. Jahrhundert wurden die Grenzen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Sprachen und Kulturen immer schärfer gezogen. Der Nationalismus entfaltete seine Kraft. Durch die Schaffung zahlreicher neuer Staaten in Osteuropa und neuer Minderheiten in Westeuropa entstanden für die Innen- und Außenpolitik der europäischen Staaten neue Spannungen. Ein Vergleich zwischen ausgewählten europäischen Minderheiten eröffnet neue Sichtweisen auf die Regionalgeschichte und relativiert scheinbare Gewissheiten.
